In this workshop, we’ll review why as bodyworkers and caregivers, it is equally important that we care for our own vessel.
A lot of times as a caregiver, one can absorb a lot of the physical and emotional stress that comes from those that we work with, especially if you are a highly sensitive person. The tasks at hand can be physically demanding, the grief, the emotional exchange, it adds up and it can be very easy to lose a sense of self in while in caregiving roles. This course will focus on various physical and energetic methods of self-care for the bodyworker or caretaker, or anyone who works with students, clients or patients in a healing or supportive role.
Jenny will guide students through pranayama (or breath work), mantras, energy healing through sound, open discussion on ways we can hold energetic boundaries, Qigong and movement through yoga postures to focus on areas of tension common in therapists and care takers. The methods provided will stem from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Taoism and Yoga.
The goal of this course is to assist the students in refilling their own cups in ways that resonate for them, and offering ways they can care for themselves, so they can better show up for others in their work and lives.
Together, we’ll focus on replenishing energy, finding movements that help to restore the physical and emotional bodies.
There will be an open discussion on other methods/tools students would like to share with group and a Yin and Restorative Yoga practice followed by a meditation to close out together.
Students would leave with new tools, knowledge, and methods on caring for and replenishing their energetic and physical bodies to alleviate feelings of depletion or burnout in the field of bodywork or caretaking.
There will be handouts with some of the practices we do in the workshop, mantras, and resources.
